Purchase options and add-ons

The articles collected in this volume represent the independent and considered thinking of internationally known scholars from a variety of disciplines concerning the relationship between religion and violence, with special reference to the theories of "just war" and "jihad," technical terms that arise in connection with the theology of early medieval Christianity and early Islam, respectively.

The contributors include Hector Avalos, Charles K. Bellinger, Bahar Davary, Carol Delaney, J. Harold Ellens, Reuven Firestone, R. Joseph Hoffmann, Judith Lichtenberg, Pauletta Otis, Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez, Laura Purdy, Joyce E. Salisbury, Regina M. Schwartz, and Robert B. Tapp.

In the present global and political climate, the significant conversation about why religions provoke conflict and whether any religion is truly "harmless" cannot be ignored.

Top review from the United States

Jim Dandy
5.0 out of 5 stars Wars of the gods?
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
In seem clear that all of the major religions have been rooted in torture,
slaughter, burning witches at the stake, beheadings, and genocides.
All in the name of their particular gods. Religious sadists, throughout
history have rivaled the most wicked emperors and kings. They make
atheists look like humanitarians. This book tells a story that everyone
should read. To speak of the "Just War" is a tantalizing positioning
of opposites. Sincerely, Jim-Dandy (my dog).
